Original sculptures by Italian artist Davide Rivalta go on display in Dublin in Dublin Castle and Lucan today.
The exhibition, called Grazing in Lucan is a collaboration between Rome's National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art and Dublin Castle.
Davide Rivalta creates life size animal sculptures using bronze, aluminium or fibre glass, and the animals are chosen by the artists to explore shapes and behaviours inherent to their nature.
Bronze buffalos will 'graze' in the green park of Lucan House, the residence of the Ambassador of Italy in Ireland, while the courtyard square of Dublin Castle will house a bronze lioness.
